Help Install Program

ltkenbo · 02-15-2008, 05:15 PM

I am trying to install this program called Fast SMB search from the source/a tar.bz2.archive. I untarred it, but when I try to run ./configure it won't work cause there is not configure file. I tried reading some stuff about generating one but I can't figure it out. Can some one help me figure out how to install it?

Some of the important files that it does have are:
configure.in
autogen.sh
Makefile.am

I know those have something to do with it but I can't figure it out. Help please.

Execute autogen.sh instead of configure. Then make and make install. Generally autogen.sh will create the configure script and then execute it, but not always so you may need to execute configure yourself.

Here is another SMB search engine. The creators provide a ready to go binary that sets it up:

How do you install from binaries?
